A copper rod and a steel rod of equal cross-sections and lengths $(L)$ are joined side by side and connected between two heat baths as shown in the figure

If heat flows through them from $x = 0$ to $x = 2L$ at a steady rate and conductivities of the metals are $K_{cu}$ and $K_{steel}$ $(K_{cu} > K_{steel}),$ then the temperature varies as (convection and radiation are negligible)

A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ reasonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75$ $cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340$ $m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz $ is
The velocity of centre of mass of the system as shown in the figure is
